This is the first camp we have focused on people slightly older than the age of our typical campers. We want college-aged (not required to be a college student) to have a chance to reset and have fun, too! This camp will focus on community in Christ and being who God wants us to be. Campers will also have a chance to participate in all camp has to offer!
THEME:
Wild Strength
This weekend at camp is all about finding new strength... spiritually,
mentally, and together. Through worship, games, late-night
conversations, and time away from the noise, we’ll be challenged to grow deeper in our faith and stronger in who God created us to be. Whether you come feeling confident or completely worn out, this weekend is a chance to reset, reconnect, and discover strength you didn’t know you had.

INTRODUCTION OF TODAY’S CAMPS & RETREATS
For those of you who don’t know me or want to know more about Today’s Camps &
Retreats, my name is Hannah Jane Swelbar. For the past 9 years I have been learning and growing through Bible College, Ministry work, and camp planning. Last year I started my dream of building a Camp & Retreat ministry fully devoted to providing camp and retreat experiences for students, and adults!
Today’s Camps & Retreats are built to be places of transformation, rest, renewal, joy,
and deep connection—sacred moments that stay with us. But more than just a memory, they are a lesson: to take all of what God has given today and trust that He will provide tomorrow. To rest in the assurance that in Christ, we already have all we need in abundance—today and every day.
We are excited to create experiences that empower students, adults, and leaders to
lead with love, live with purpose, and impact the world around them.
“Give us today our daily bread.” – Matthew 6🕚
WE WANT:
- To acknowledge what we have today.
- To learn what we can today.
- To believe what is true yesterday, today, and forever.
Today we have the ability to acknowledge what we have by looking at the blessings in our life given to us by God, to learn what we can by looking at the scriptures and stories we have been gifted, and to believe what is true.
Today’s is a support raised Ministry that is still working to become fully funded. I am
excited to see how it continues to grow and how God uses it to impact our communities.
If you have any questions of how you can partner with Today’s Camps & Retreats either financially or if you are interested in Today’s putting on an event for your church, youth group, or small group please email me at hannahjane@todayscamps.org.

Hannah Jane
